Car type, driving type, the weather, tire price, performance and physical properties of the tire, season and brand.
What is pressure index?
It is the maximum pressure each tire can tolerate with the maximum air pressure. It is a two-digit number and it has a special table.
How should I keep tires?
Tires shouldn’t be in an outdoor are under the direct sun light radiation. They should not be close to heat and chemical resources. You should not use detergents to wash tires either. If the car isn’t supposed to move for a long time, you should uninstall the tires and put a few jacks under the car in order to prevent the weight pressure on the tires. For a longer performance of the tire, you’d better install the new tires in front position and put them in rear axle when 1/3 of the tread depth has been used.
How should I change tires positions?
Radial tires can be relocated from left hand side to right or the other way around, but Bias tires cannot be repositioned like this. Bias tires can only change position from front position to rear position. Radial tires can change positions after 5000 kms and Bias tires after 10000 kms.
How does high weight pressure affect the tire?
It will reduce the tire performance and will cause limited speed for the car.
When should I change the tire?
When the tread depth is very low and before the tire gets all flattened, it should be changed. The tube should also be changed with the tire. Tires whose inner and outer side is worn out, and the tires whose side wall has been distorted must be changed.
How should I fix the wheel into the tire perfectly?
To do this, you don’t need high air pressure. There are special lubricants which can be used on tire crown to facilitate installing the tire very easier.
How should I install tubeless tires on wheels?
It needs a special machine to do this. You should also notice the tire and the wheel brim to be clean and stainless. Installing tubeless tires on wheels by hand will damage tire crown will cause air leakage. Therefore the will have low air pressure and there will be more contact area with road and the temperature will increase. In this case the tire will be damaged very soon.
What types of wheels shouldn’t I use?
Rusty, curved, soldered and grinded wheels are not recommended to use. The wheels whose holes surface has been flattened out are useless as well.
How should I choose a proper wheel for the proper tire?
When choosing a wheel, the car standards and size and type of the tire must be considered. There are different wheels for tubeless tires and normal tires. It is necessary to balance the tire and the wheel. It is also important to use the same tire and wheel with the same size and pattern and brand for each axle.
Does temperature change affect the tire air pressure?
There is 1 PSI change for every 10 degrees of Celsius decrease. Generally in locations where the temperature changes often, it is recommended to check the air pressure on a regular basis.
What is the advantage of Nitrogen gas to normal air?
It can control the inner pressure of the tire very appropriately and it is highly recommended.
How does high air pressure affect the tire?
In this case, the will be improper contact between the tire and road and the tire will worn out inappropriately. Abrasion will be more in the middle of the tire and it will cause some cracks in it.
How does low air pressure affect the tire?
It will cause a wider contact area of the tire and road. In this case, friction goes up and the heat will increase, therefore the tire will be worn out and it will have a shorter performance.
How much the air pressure should be?
It depends on the manufacturer. They mention the right air pressure in car’s booklet or they put a sign in dashboard or in the trunk. The pressure depends on the weight a car can and should carry. In the case the car carries the maximum weight, the air pressure must be maximum as well.
How does it affect the tire when the air is not adjusted?
Low air and high air pressure both can damage the tire and will cause improper abrasion.
When Do I have to adjust the tire air?
the tire air. For TBR tires it must be adjusted every 5 days during the winter and everyday during the summer. Having the tire air adjusted can improve the performance and prevent danger.
